These Best Life rankings are terrible. 

How can a college that costs $3,299 per year be overpriced? There seems to be no consistency in how they list cost. Is it just tuition and fees, or is it total cost of attendance? A lot of these numbers don't fit either one. One school was listed as being overpriced because a reviewer stated that they live in a small town with few jobs. What?

This was the dumbest thing on the page. What does this even mean?

"Really expensive and ridiculously easy," a sophomore commented on Niche. "Most of the professors are really knowledgeable and really helpful. They are regionally accredited. Unfortunately, they are not accredited by any accreditation board."

I see. They're doing average cost after aid. Of course, the amount of aid you receive depends on income.

I was looking at that exact same quote and thought the same thing! LOL, at least I'm not the only one confused what they were trying to get at. It's RA, I guess they were talking about some other programmatic or secondary accreditation. I had a double take moment with that one...

Interesting that Grand Canyon U beat out University of Phoenix in AZ.

LOL. That is what the reviewer meant. I found the full quote. However, Johnson & Wales University does have programmatic accreditation for its healthcare programs. Rhode Island doesn't require programmatic accreditation for a CPA license. 

"Really expensive and ridiculously easy. Most of the professors are really knowledgeable and really helpful. They are regionally accredited. Unfortunately, they are not accredited by any accreditation board. Meaning in majors such as engineering, accounting, and business etc... the degrees are virtually worthless because you can't obtain your licence. As well as, their degrees won't give you a competitive edge in your desired field."

University of Phoenix is cheaper.

Kind of weird to see Edinboro on there. When I chose Edinboro back in 93, it was literally the least expensive state school in Pennsylvania. Tuition is a lot higher now, but it’s been a long time. I don’t know how they compare to others.
